| Any reviews on rc4wd fuel mud grippers?
I got a good deal on a set of these in 1.7's but can't really find any reviews or even pictures of them on other peoples rigs. I'm on the fence right now on them. Really wanted 1.7 Baja claws or iroks but these were to good of a deal to pass up. Any info would be appreciated |

| Re: Any reviews on rc4wd fuel mud grippers?
I am currently looking for pictures of the 1.9's on rigs and am in the same boat. None out there. I have ran the 1.9 compass tires, they are kinda similar. Ie, short lugs, semi-aggressive tread. I love the compass tires on pure rocks and rock crawling. The compound is great but the 4.75" height is a tad tall for an upcoming build. Dunno if that helps ya but I am about ready to buy the 1.9 grippers, as I know they will work fine on pure rocks. Edit, Just scored a set of 1.9's with wheels on Ebay. We'll see how they do. ......

I found a picture of the exact set up I'm going to be running (I'm waiting on my wheels from tower) from about a year ago in the classified section. I also found 1 YouTube video thats about 15sec with them also. I'll give them a try I guess. I think with the type trailing/scaling I do I'm going to be disappointed with them bc of how tight the lugs are. Lots of mud here. |

Here are the 1.9's up against some other 1.9's. I love RC4WD's X3 ultra soft compounds. |

I got my 1.7s mounted up and took it for a quick 5min run. My one complaint right now is the sidewalks are super thin and want to fold over. I'm sure this could be cured with some stiffer foams. I see no 1.7 specific foams, does anyone know if I could stuff/stretch some 1.55 foams in them like something from CI? |

Im actually very....impressed with these tires. I played around with it at a little spot in my backyard and they did great. I just need somehow stiffen them up just s tad Here's a quick vid of it. Idk why the quality came out crappy, seems like everyone else that posts with iPhone 6s plus their videos come out great. Anyways... https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rZQ9mkHbvFE |

| Re: Any reviews on rc4wd fuel mud grippers? Hey Szczerba, a little off topic but they were in this picture. What do you think of the Sems Limites? I just picked up a set to run in class 1 but have not used them yet. I too am a fan of the x3 compound and figured they might be worth a try.
